Richmond is blue, Nelson red Charles Anderson The Nelson electorate’s red/blue divide has been laid out more starkly than ever thanks to new voting booth data.

The Waimea Weekly has used

data analysis from Chris McDowall to show how people in the Nelson electorate voted in last month’s election, depending on the location of the polling booth they visited.

Labour overwhelmingly domi-

nated National in the party vote at various polling booths around the electorate but the further west you go, the bluer the statistics become.

Labour won the party vote in Nelson with 15,030 votes, or 41.1

per cent, followed closely by National with 14,690 votes, according to preliminary results. The final numbers will not be known until Saturday.

Labour received just 24.71 per cent of the party votes in 2014,

well behind National on 44.43 per cent.

Labour won by more than 50 per cent of the vote at the Victory Community Centre voting booth

Charity gets boost from businesses Simon Bloomberg The generosity of the business community was highlighted when people gave, and then gave some more, to help Nelson-Tasman charity Walk With Us raise almost $30,000 to put shoes on the region’s kids.

Walk with Us was formed in 2013 and has so far provided over 300 free pairs of shoes for children, aged between five and 13, for families in need. The trust held it’s annual fund-raising auction last Thursday at the Waimea Old Boys clubrooms with author of The Resilient Farmer, Doug Avery, as guest speaker.

Trustee Jenny Bates says they had a long list of generous sponsors donating items for the auction night and some of them were happy to go the extra mile for the charity. All the items were popular but when bidding heated-up for a motorhome holiday and a helicopter flight, the sponsors who donated the items doubled their original offer to make sure no one missed out.

“There were two people bidding for the holiday in the motorhome so Discover NZ Motorhomes owner Tony Terrell put his hand up and said he’d donate another one,” Jenny

says. “The same thing happened for the helicopter flight - Craig Boote didn’t need any convincing to double his donation, which was a lovely gesture.”

The live auction raised about

$22,500 and two businesses Aimex/Hydraulink and Mike Pero Real Estate, also helped out announcing significant cash donations to the charity.

Jenny says Doug also played a

role refusing to accept any payment.

“We were overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity,” Jenny says.

“This will help pay for enough shoes to last quite a while.”

Richmond blue and Nelson red FROM PAGE 1 with 750 votes and at Nelson Intermediate with 220. In contrast, National won by more than 50 per cent at Garin College with 402 votes and Brightwater School with 515 votes.

Long standing Nelson MP Nick Smith believes one of the reasons for his support in Richmond and Brightwater is that he started his political career in the then Tasman electorate, when he lived in Brightwater, and is well known in the district.

“My support in Richmond and Brightwater has always been strong. It’s where I started so I’ve been an MP there for a longer time than in Nelson.”

Nick also considers the Southern Link issue was a factor in his strong support in Richmond and Stoke saying it is a big issue for those residents. Nick has been a strong supporter of the Southern Link, making it one of the key local issues in this year’s election.

“It’s an important issue for people in Stoke and Richmond who face the congestion and hassle of driving into Nelson on a daily basis,” Nick says.

However, Nick says that interpreting voting booth data can be confusing, citing the example of the Richmond Mall booth, which had 7000 early votes, because many of the mall’s shoppers come from Stoke.

Nick won the Nelson seat receiving 14,956 of the total votes, followed by Labour’s Rachel Boyack who ended up with 10,956 votes, and the Green Party’s Matt Lawrey, with 8324 votes.

Voting booth data for electorate votes will not be available until after this Saturday.

WEDNESDAY 4 October 2017

Let there be light Judene Edgar The lights have been out at the Richmond skatepark for nearly a decade, but a petition to get the lights turned back on is determined to change that.

Started a week ago on the online petition website change. org, it has already received over 1000 signatures and counting. The petition organiser, who goes by the name ‘Truss’, says, “the Richmond skatepark might not be the best or the biggest, but for the people who use the skatepark, it is our skatepark.”

“Because of the poor decisionmaking from one individual, the lights at the Richmond skatepark were vandalised leading to the light being disconnected from the grid. This led to people no longer being able to ride after dark as it was far too dangerous.”

He goes on to say that since then, it has become unsafe and now attracts less desirable people, but suggests the timed lighting that is in place at the Neale Park skatepark would make an ideal solution.

“These lights are on a 30-minute timer with a button, so when riders wish to ride at the skate park they can turn the lights on, providing a safe riding environment.”

The petition has received uni-

versally favourable comments in support of having the lights back on as well as having the water fountain reinstalled. A large number of the 120 comments received to date are from

Tasman youth councillor Mara Leyland says she definitely supports the petition and suggests that it may be an issue in other skateparks around the district.

“It’s really awesome to hear people taking action for something that is important to them,” says Mara.

Richmond constable Kyle Abbott acknowledges that there have been some vandalism issues in the past but is generally supportive of the lights going back on, however he believes that the onus needs to be placed on the users to help police the area and to speak up if they see something. Echoing many of the online comments, Kyle considers that it could provide a healthy, active outlet for young people.

“With the right security around the lights and the right timings for their activation, it could be one way of getting bored young people involved in other activities and not one of vandalism,” says Kyle.

Chris says council have had discussions with the police as ensuring they were in agreement was an important first step.

“They’re supportive and clearly so are the users, so we’ll be looking to include it in our long term plan for public consultation, along with the drinking water fountain.”

“My kids want to play here but I won’t allow it at the moment due to the unsafeness.”

“Better to have a lit safe place where the antics are in full sight rather than hiding them in darkness.”

“Bringing back the water fountain will save people bringing and leaving plastic bottles.”

Council communications advisor Chris Choat says that they are aware of the petition and that they also received feedback as part of their recent youth survey.

Antique chair thrown out Charles Anderson Sandy Boyd was getting rid of everything in her life that she didn’t need.

She was downsizing - selling or giving away all the things that cluttered up her life. She and her partner Dwayne were busy restoring his old house truck and converting it into a tiny house.

The truck was built over 30 years while Dwayne was a house remover. It used to sit on a 1975 Bedford truck but it has been removed and slotted onto a trailer on a pocket of land in Tasman.

The time came around “The fella has obviously made a

It turned out he had dropped it at a recycling centre. So they went round to the recycling centre, auction houses and antique stores searching for the distinctive piece of furniture.

“But no one could remember seeing it.”

So now the couple are well on their way to finishing the tiny house but they are still missing that one special piece.

“We just want to track it down,” Sandy said. “We want to finish the job.”

Dwayne said if someone had taken it on as a project then that was one thing. “Better that than being hiffed in a hole.”

But they hoped they could do a deal with whoever has it to get the chair back.

“It would really complete our project,” Sandy says.They have put the call out on social media and, while they have had some nibbles, there has been no clear sign as to what happened to their chair. “It’s a bit of a mystery but we would love to see it back,” she says.

Waimea’s French connection Judene Edgar Daniel Leaper has maintained Waimea College’s winning streak, taking out the Year 13 Alliance Francaise national Concours Oral (French-speaking competition), the third year in a row for Waimea, and receiving a twoweek all-expenses-paid trip to New Caledonia.

The competition involves interviews, role play and presentations in French, so Daniel says it was all about the preparation. Some of his best preparation was through attending the weekly café conversations at La Gourmandise

organised by the Nelson Alliance Francois group, which provided him with a great opportunity to immerse in French.

“My friend Sean [Reilly] and I speak French whenever we can.

We even got told off in physics for speaking French,” he says.

“Part of the exam involved presenting an argument on the refugee movement with only ten minutes to prepare. Ten minutes goes very fast when you’re trying to prepare.”

Daniel took up French in Year nine and says he really enjoyed the challenge.

“I had a great teacher, Hilary de

Joux, and I think it often does come down to the teacher more than the subject.”

But it wasn’t as easy once Daniel got to Year 12. As there weren’t enough students to form a class, Daniel has spent the last two years learning French through correspondence schooling.

“Considering he’s had to be self-motivated, I’ve been so impressed,” says Waimea College French teacher James Donaldson.

“He’s a really good role model and comes and talks in French with the younger students.”

While Daniel is looking forward to his trip in December, his sights

are currently set on upcoming exams with the view to studying medicine at Otago University next year. But he believes that the learning strategies he’s gained from having to be self-directed with his French studies will help him at University.

“I’m absolutely stoked to have won this and to get to put my French-speaking skills into action in New Caledonia. Two weeks sounds long, but I’m sure it will fly by,” he says.

“It is nice to get recognised for all the hard work, but I do want to thank the Alliance Francaise organisers as they’re all volunteers.”

Nelson hosts radio yacht competition

Radio Yacht Squadron Nelson members Brian Curtis, left, and Ken Allcott, with their radio-controlled yachts at the South Island International One Metre Radio Controlled Yachting competition on Sunday, held at Thawley Orchard pond in Mahana.

Jessie Johnston They may look like toys but there’s a lot of skill that goes into radio-controlled sailing, as was evident at the South Island International One Metre regatta.

Held over Saturday and Sunday at Thawley Orchard’s pond in Mahana and hosted by Radio Yacht Squadron Nelson, the competition included 30 boats from around the country.

It’s the third time that the Nelson club has hosted the South Island regatta, however, after a great day of racing on Saturday, competitors were left waiting for the wind to pick up on Sunday with only a handful of races getting underway.

“A lot of people think the boats have motors but they don’t, it’s all done by the wind, the only thing we can control is the rudder to steer it and the sails to the degree we want,” says organising committee chair, Ken Allcott.

The club belongs to the New Zealand Radio Yachting Association and is one of three clubs in the South Island, the other two being Canterbury and Otago, with six clubs operating in the North Island. Each year, each club is expected to run a regional regatta, open to everyone in New Zealand. On top of that there is the South Island and North Island champs, which are run on behalf of the New Zealand association, by different host clubs.

“The cream of it all is the New Zealand National Champs which are on this weekend in Christchurch,” says Ken. “There you get international competitors as well, so there’s some Australians coming over for that and they’ll have 40 boats entered.”

The weekend got underway with two seeding races, determining whether boats started in Fleet A or Fleet B. Each Fleet A race saw the last four boats move across to Fleet B, while each Fleet B race saw the first four boats join Fleet A. The winner is decided by a points system, a win earning one point, while last place is 30 points, the boat with the lowest tally taking first place.

“I enjoy the comradeship with the rest of the guys, you’ll find it’s not really a young man’s sport, most of the people are retired or semiretired, although saying that there was a group from Otago who were in their early 30s or so,” says Ken. “I also like the challenge of setting the boats up to get them to sail properly and fast and there’s no two ways about it, the minute you put two boats on the water, you’re always racing, it’s just human nature.”

Although lack of wind did halt proceedings, Ken says everyone sailed a good regatta with the win going to Graham Roberts from Tauranga. The club also thanks Thawley Orchard for allowing the South Island regatta to be run on their pond.

Four members of the Nelson club will be heading down to Christchurch this weekend for the National competition.

Nostalgia flows at Tapawera School reunion Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Everyone knew they were at a country school when principal Kelvin Woodley’s dog wandered through the crowd and sat beside his master while he was speaking at the opening of the Tapawera Area School’s 75th reunion celebrations on Saturday.

Kelvin didn’t seem to mind and neither did the estimated 500 guests attending the reunion which maintained a relaxed, friendly, rural theme throughout the celebrations. In fact, guest speaker and former principal George Murrow told the audience that people in Tapawera were the most welcoming he’d ever come across.

“I remember arriving at the school house in Tapawera in 1961 with my wife and five children in our Morris Oxford,” George says.

“We needed some milk so I got a billy of milk from a farmer milking his cows and he refused to take any money.

“I didn’t even know where Tapawera was before I got the job and I didn’t know anybody, but we quickly made friends. The 1960s were good times for us and it was all to do with the people –

Former Tapawera Area School principal George Murrow, centre, with ex-pupils Ian Hannen, left, and Jock Nicholls at the school’s 75th reunion on Saturday. Photo: Simon Bloomberg. the people were involved in education and working for the community.”

Foundation pupils Ian Hannen, 83, and Jock Nicholls, 87, were also full of nostalgia, recalling their first day at the school when it opened in April 1942. Tapawera District School was formed when

12 small school houses around the district were amalgamated and Ian says it seemed “so big and scary” after attending Tui School.

“We only had one classroom and about 16 or 17 children at Tui, and there were six classrooms and about 180 kids at Tapawera,” Jock says. “It was quite a move - it

was quite scary for the first couple of days.”

In fact, it was so overwhelming for Ian that he was too scared to ask the teachers where to find the toilet on the first day.

“I managed to last the day somehow but didn’t get through the second day,” Ian recalls. “I ended

up wetting my pants.”

However, Ian says the move to their new school was, “in hindsight, the best thing that happened because it enriched and broadened” our lives.

Lloyd Faulkner, who attended the school from 1942 to 1949, vividly remembers long cold journeys from Stanley Brook to school on an unheated Wadsworth bus and “then warming our backsides up against the wall of the bakehouse next to the school.” He also recalls one memorable morning when the bus driver stopped to allow the boys to get out and catch a wild pig on their way to school.

The reunion shifted to Club Waimea for a dinner on Saturday night when guest speakers Lieutenant Colonel Dougal Barker and Daryl Crimp recalled their days at the school. Dougal attended the school from 1976 to 1989 while Daryl, a well-known cartoonist and author, is both a past pupil and teacher at Tapawera.

Daryl told the guests about his first day at school when he “got the hearth-brush around the backside from Joan Lees for building a tent in the pine trees with a heap of school blankets, instead of having an afternoon nap like the rest of the class”.

NMIT Information Evening

Wednesday 18 October, 4 - 7pm

The rugby will be more family-friendly than ever this Sunday with Pic's Peanut Butter and the Nelson Aiport teaming up for a family fun zone and picnic.

As the Tasman Makos will host Auckland at Trafalgar Park this Sunday afternoon, two local businesses got together to make it a day not to be missed.

Nelson Airport will be hosting a family zone in front of the embankment that will feature bouncy castles and country games like peanut sack races, peanut and spoon races, as well as a tug of fun.

On the embankment itself, Pic's Peanut Butter will be hosting its Mighty Pic's Picnic.

Everyone buying a discounted general admission ticket from Pic's Peanut Butter on Elms St in the Wakatu Estate (behind Pomeroys) or from its

stand at the Nelson Market on Saturday mornings, will be able to take part.

Each family buying tickets will also be given a small jar of Pic's Peanut Butter.

Tasman Rugby Union marketing manager Les Edwards says the day will be all about "family, rugby and sun."

"And Pic's Peanut Butter is the perfect partner for a Pic's Picnic," he joked.

Pic's marketing manager Nikki Neate says they will also be giving out ten special prize packs.

"We've been a member of the 500 club and this coincided with our 10 year anniversary celebrations, so we thought 'what would be better than inviting Nelson to come and watch some great rugby, have some peanut butter and have an amazing family afternoon'."

The game kicks off on Sunday afternoon at 2.35pm and tickets can also be bought from makos.co.nz

Home & Garden Show launches new local businesses Brittany Spencer The Nelson Home & Garden Show was the perfect place for people wanting to spruce up their homes, but it was also the perfect launching site for new businesses and new products.

Well over 9000 people strolled around over 180 stalls at Saxton Stadium from Friday to Sunday, soaking up ideas, inspiration and information. Event organiser Josh Shanley says the tenth Nelson Home & Garden Show was a massive success with a great atmosphere and even more visitors than last year.

“Visitors who hadn’t been to the show for a couple of years said there was a lot more of a buzz than they had remembered in previous years, so that’s a big positive for us.”

The show has a mix of established national and international brands as well as local businesses.

“A lot of our exhibitors tell us that, in terms of exposure for a new product or business, it’s a great way

to get people engaged.

“It’s a chance for consumers to talk to the people behind the product and try before they buy.”

Amongst the stalls was budding business owner Becky Siame, who launched her sleepover party hire business at the show.

“I’ve been working on it for about five months but this was my coming-out launch. It was great to be able to exhibit it in a place where so many people could see it and get excited about it.”

Tiny Teepee provides themed teepees and party decor for Instagram-worthy sleepovers, they do the delivery, set-up, styling, pack-up and entertainment. “The whole gist of Tiny Teepee is that we go into people’s homes and turn ordinary places into enchanting spaces for children and their parties and the parents don’t have to do a thing.”

Becky says the concept got a fabulous response and that she’d recommend the show to any budding or established business.

Tasman District Council is requesting a halt to soft plastics being put in the kerbside recycling bins, instead asking residents to drop them off at participating supermarkets for recycling.

While the Richmond Resource Recovery Centre isn’t set up for soft plastics recycling, a new scheme funded by the Love NZ soft plastics programme means people can drop their bags to their nearest New World, Countdown or Pak’nSave supermarkets for recycling.

Nelson Airport soaring

Nelson Airport is celebrating a record-breaking year after welcoming its one millionth passenger for the 12 months to June 2017, an increase of 34 per cent in the past two years. Earnings increased 71 per cent from the previous year enabling a dividend of $720,000 to be paid to its two shareholder councils. In addition to the new Airways control tower construction that is currently underway, works on the new terminal and car parking commenced in May with an anticipated completion date of April 2019.

The region’s cycling on a roll

Direct Cremation

Judene Edgar Reporter

judene@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Nelson Tasman is further growing its reputation as a cycling mecca with Sport Tasman appointing the region’s first full-time community cycling coordinator, Gina Persico, and the Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust appointing Josh Aldridge as their new trail manager.

Despite being employed by different organisations, the two roles nearly work handin-hand. Josh’s role is to build the trails, and Gina’s role is to provide kids with the competence and confidence to use them. Originally from Nelson, Gina has just returned from working as a cattle musterer in the Australian outback for a year.

“I hadn’t ridden a horse since I was about 10, when I was thrown off, but it sounded like a fun challenge,” she says.

Prior to working in Australia, Gina had worked for the Otago Rowing Association as their coach and regional manager, after studying physical education at Otago university. But always keen to take on new challenges, despite being new to mountain biking, Gina competed in her first-ever Spring Challenge this weekend.

“I got into mountainbiking “I’ve ridden every section of about a year ago after shift- the Great Taste Trail since I ing to Wellington, and when got here. It’s great that there this job came up it seemed are so many different rides like the perfect opportunity to choose from that are so

accessible and cater for everyone.”

Josh says they have submitted a three-year business case and are awaiting on a decision from the Minister of Tourism, once one has been appointed, with the goal of getting the entire Great Taste Trail loop finished within three years.

Gina, who will be promoting and organising cycling education programmes and events as well as running the RideOn cycle skills training programme, is also looking forward to new cycling infrastructure in the form of the Saxton velodrome. The velodrome includes a cycle safety arena, complete with road markings and give way and stop signs, so children can learn the skills required to ride on the road.

“It will take the stress out of being on the road as it has the markings but no actual cars,” says Gina.

But for now, both are spending their first few weeks on the job meeting and getting to know people and what the region has to offer cyclists.

“I know it won’t continue, but at the moment I’m getting paid to ride a bike and drink coffee – it doesn’t get better than that,” jokes Josh.

“But partnerships are the key to delivery.”

WEDNESDAY 4 October 2017

Annual service blesses pets Jessie Johnston Nelson Cathedral’s congregation had a few extra faces on Sunday morning when it’s church service was attended not just by people, but their much-loved pets.

The annual pet service is held to commemorate the life of St Francis of Assisi who is the patron saint of animals and the environment, although his feast day actually falls on October 4.

The service provides people with an opportunty to bring their pets to church for a blessing and to “cel-

ebrate the relationship between animals and people,” says Reverend Steve Jordan. “My dog Bridie helped me preach in her white dog collar and we had Jeff Grimmett, the chairman of The Nelson ARK Trust, come and talk to us about how troubled animals and troubled children can work together to their mutual benefit. It’s also one of the real fun services of the year which we really enjoy hosting.”

As well as Bridie, the black Labrador, other animals that attended the church service included cats, guinea pigs and a budgie.

Richmond Lions contribute to Queen St redevelopment Reverend Steve Jordan with his black Labrador Bridie, at Nelson Cathedral on Sunday for the annual pet service. Photo: Jessie Johnston.

The Richmond Lions have made their mark on Queen St donating a seat to the newly upgraded streetscape outside Richmond Public Library.

Lions members and Tasman mayor Richmond Kempthorne attended the unveiling of the seat and plaque on Tuesday morning.

The seat is just one of the many projects sponsored by the Lions who have been helping the Richmond community for almost 50 years - the club celebrates its 50th anniversary next year.

Club president Alex Robertson says they are delighted to “contribute to the upgrading of Queen St with the Tasman District Council by the installation of this seating outside the library”.

“All our members are volunteers who enjoy putting a little back into the community, which includes fundraising by selling

sausages and firewood, and fourwheel drive tours. We also help numerous other community groups such as street collections, stalls, speech contests for young children and the Positive Ageing seminar to name a few.”

Richard says the club has contributed “a huge amount to our community over that time and should be justifiably proud of their work and legacy”.

“The contribution of this seat to the new streetscape on Queen St will be enjoyed by many over the years to come, so thank you,” Richard says.

“I have used the new seats outside the library and they look really good and give a wonderful ability to sit and chat with friends.”

Alex said the Lions were always keen to find new members, and anyone interested could contact him on 03 5442639.

Just a thought...

Peter Somervell Grace Church Some of my best childhood memories stem from my time on our farm.

A few years back I went and visited it. As I drove around the corner there was our house sitting on the hill, surrounded by rolling green hills with the tall poplar trees swaying in the breeze in the front paddock.

This was the centre of my world – my little Middle Earth. No matter what direction you were coming from, all roads led to our home.

Many people in our world view religion in much the same way.

There’s not just one path or way to God, there are many.

There is the Muslim path, the Jehovah Witnesses path, the

Hindu path and then there’s the Christian path. It doesn’t matter which path you take, because they all lead to the same place.

Jesus however, did not give that option. He said very clearly and directly, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6).

Jesus is saying the only way a man or woman can get to God is through him. It’s not by Mohammed or Buddha or Scientology or human philosophy or new age meditation. Only him.

Now if Jesus was nothing more than a religious leader who started a great movement and if his prime objective was to teach us good morals – that is, to make people better and more well behaved – then it would

be the height of arrogance for him to say he is the only way to God. But the Bible does not say he was some great religious leader.

He is the very son of God. And he did not come to teach us how to be better people. He came to make us new people.

He came to redeem us and rescue us from our sin. He came to give us eternal life. No one but Jesus has the power and means to do this.

Eternal life in heaven is made possible only through Jesus.

There is no other way.

It’s not a leap in the dark. It’s a leap into the light. All you need to do is open your heart to him, and take the step of faith and say, “Lord, I believe. Show me the way.”

And he will.

U13 REpRESEnTATivE TEAMS Nelson Basketball will be represented by three teams at the upcoming South Island U13 Premiership tournament and thanks the local business community for helping their players get there.

An A grade boys team and A grade girls team will be travelling down to Invercargill for the competition, as well as a boy’s B team,

with the tournament running from October 10 until October 13. “They were formed earlier in the year and it was quite a process, especially for the boys, we had over 60 boys actually trial for the team so the trial process went on for about a month, just refining the teams and making sure that we had the 20 best athletes.

U13 BOYS A TEAM

They’ve been practicing full time together since the July holidays,” says Nelson Basketball general manager, Frances Tilly.

For many players, the event is their first proper Basketball New Zealand tournament and with a high level of skill amongst the teams, all three have the ability to achieve great results.

“I think we’ve got three teams that are certainly going to be really competitive and I just think it’s really exciting to see how they’re going to go,” says Frances.

“The calibre of the teams we’re sending away shows that the future of basketball in Nelson is looking really bright.”

All three teams are incredibly

grateful for the support from local businesses including Flip Out for assisting them with a Flip Out fundraising evening, State Cinema who helped them host a movie night fundraiser, Rebel Sport who assisted them in selling Nike basketball socks, Bayleys Nelson Bays for helping with a fundraising initiative

Lynley still has a spring in her step

Teams start the rafting stage on the Rangitata River during Saturday’s Spring Challenge.

Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

It’s almost 30 years since rower Lynley Coventry won a bronze medal at the Seoul Olympics but the Nelson athlete showed she is still super-fit, winning the veteran’s section of the Torpedo 7 Spring Challenge near Geraldine on Saturday.

Lynley joined her friends Jane Martin and Jane Orbell in team Nancy Loves Bikes to win the veteran’s section of the all-women’s adventure race that attracted 597 teams. The trio rafted 11km down the Rangitata River, trekked 15km up Mt Peel and mountainbiked 70km before completing an orienteering section, to win in 10hr 8min 56sec.

Although Lynley has competed in plenty of Spring Challenges, winning the open section in 2013, she says Saturday’s 11th edition was by far the toughest.

“It was a fantastic race but it was physically demanding,” she says.

“There were lots of big climbs – there was one climb after another.

“The trek was steep and then we had a really steep section on the mountainbike. We had to push our bikes up 800 vertical metres – it was so steep it was unrideable.”

Saturday’s win continued a successful year for Lynley who won four gold medals in the rowing at the World Masters Games in Auckland in April. She says training for the rowing gave her a good base fitness for the Spring Challenge although her preparation was almost torpedoed by a knee injury she suffered while skiing six weeks before the event.

“I was pretty fit from the rowing although it’s a different kind of fitness. Rowing is a big, flat out effort for four minutes while adventure racing is a 10-hour slog.

“But then I twisted my knee skiing and had to have a break from training. I hadn’t been skiing for

30 years and knew it was a bad idea, but fortunately it came right just in time.”

It was also a good day for the Martin family with Jane’s daughter Hannah teaming up with Jess Alloway and Charlotte Tucker to

Sia Svendsen by one second. Susie’s team caught the leaders on the mountainbike stage and the two teams were locked together during the 4km orienteering before Jo, Simone and Sia sprinted clear in the finishing chute to win

Nelson’s Susie Wood featured in a sprint finish in the open race with her team of Sophie Hart and Fleur Pawsey just missing out to Jo Williams, Simone Maier and

in 8hr 10min 52sec.

Sophie, who is a three-time World Adventure Racing Champion and had her eight-month-old baby Willa watching her cross the finish line, says the course was “one of the hardest” Spring Challenges

she has competed in.

“We had a great day. The course was really hard and kept us honest out there.

“The last 50m to the finish line was the most challenging. It was just all on - I didn’t have any gas left in the tank, unfortunately.”

Another Nelson competitor, Georgia Whitla, was third in Team Sneaky Weasel Gals in 8hr 48min 22sec.

Race director Nathan Fa’avae says the quality of the racing was exceptional with “amazing female athletes in the top nine-hour teams”.

“The top two teams had multiple World Adventure Racing Championship-winning girls. While Spring Challenge is for everyone, it’s really inspirational for other women to see a hard-fought race going on at the top end of the field.” Nathan says the race went smoothly with 160 staff and volunteers ensuring the 1800 competitors were safe.

Master Games encourages comeback Simon Bloomberg Reporter

Richmond mum Melody King-Turner can’t wait to get back on track when she lines up for the sprints in the South Island Masters Games at Saxton Field on Saturday.

Melody will be joining around 2300 athletes aged 30 to 89 who will be competing in over 40 sports at venues around Nelson and Tasman, starting on Wednesday.

And like many of the Masters Games' mums, Melody will be making her sporting comeback after spending the last 12 years raising children, five in her case.

“I started sprinting when I was 13 at Marlborough Girls College and then got back into it when we moved to Nelson,” Melody says.

“I ran the 100, 200 and 400 for Athletics Nelson before I had children.

“This my first time back.

I haven’t raced since I was 26 and I can’t wait – I get a real kick out of it.”

Although Melody says she has been keeping reasonably fit over the last year or so, she knew she needed to get back on track if she was going to enter the Master Games.

So, she headed down to the Saxton Field and joined in the Thursday night training sessions with the next generation of runners.

“It’s for young people but I jumped in on that.

There’s one other mum from Motueka who is also doing the sprints at the Masters Games and we’re both really enjoying it.”

Melody says her children, aged three through to 11, are all supportive of her goal to race at the games and it has even inspired her nine-year-old daughter Chloe to start training as well.

“She’s a good cross-coun-

try runner and now that she’s seen me training she wants to have a go at athletics, too,” Melody says.

Melody will be competing in the 60m and 100m, and “possibly the 200m”, at the track and field session at Saxton Field on Saturday.

Sport Tasman’s event manager Rita Merriman says Saxton Field will be the hub of the games with 13 sports and around 1000 competitors based at the complex.

The games start on Wednesday and continue through to Sunday, with most of the team sports being played at the weekend.

Rita says the number of athletes and sports are similar to the last South Island Masters Games held in Nelson in 2015 when they spent an estimated $2.8million in the region.

She says a dedicated team of 250 volunteers will help to run the games.

Another ace for the Drummonds Simon Bloomberg Richmond’s Sue Drummond has spent countless hours watching her talented sons Hamish and Andrew play representative golf but on Sunday it was her time to shine, hitting a hole-in-one on the tenth at Greenacres.

And the first thing her husband Paul did after congratulating Sue was take a photo on his phone and send it to Hamish and Andrew.

“They were chuffed,” Sue says.

SpOrtS Runners win

The Athletics Nelson over 60 team won their age group at the New Zealand Road Relay champs around Lake Rotorua at the weekend. The team of Ian Carter, Barry Dewar, Derek Shaw, Clive Holyoake, Murray Hart and Graeme Sellars won in 3hr 10min 4sec, 15 minutes ahead of second-placed Auckland University.

“Andrew has also had a holein-one so now there are two of us in the family.”

Sue hit her ace with a five wood on the 133m tenth saying, “it was pretty straight” and looked on target from the start.

“I was playing with Paul and Sean Weir and Sean called it from the start. He said, ‘it looks good, it’s going in’ and it did – it bounced twice and went straight in.”

After all the excitement, Sue, who has a 22 handicap, says her round disintegrated and

she finished with a 97.

Sue started playing golf in Wellington almost 30 years ago but stopped for some time while she raised her sons.

She only took the game up again five years ago after she “finished chasing around after the kids.”

Interestingly, her best round of golf was an 83 shot at Wainuiomata the day before she had Hamish.

“I wasn’t very big and Hamish was two weeks early, so I could still play alright,” Sue says.

National honours

New format

Tasman United youth players Rick Muir and Scott Morris have been selected in the New Zealand secondary school’s football team for a trip to the United States next year. The two Richmond footballers were selected for the 18-player squad after showing top form this season. Rick plays midfield for Nelson College while goalkeeper Scott is a former Waimea College student who has been playing for Rathkeale College.

Waimea College Combined will have to apply to play in the UC Crusaders schools’ rugby championship from next year after the competition was restructured into a two-tier competition for next season.

The competition will be played in a format similar to the national provincial championship, with some crossover games between the two divisions. Combined teams will also be limited to the second tier from 2019.

Becoming the mum of an All Black

David Havili become the region's first modern All Black to start at a local junior team and go right through the grades to the Makos before making it in black. Nelson Weekly reporter Andrew Board had the privilege of watching his test debut, with his family in Motueka.

As David Havili stands in the middle of his first All Blacks haka in Argentina, the television camera briefly captures a glimpse of his face. It looks like the others around him – stern, focused.

But even that glimpse on a television screen 10,000km away was recognized in a heartbeat by the person who knows it best, his mother.

“There he is!” she blurted. “He’ll be nervous as hell.”

Earlier in the day Jenny Bisley, now also known as mother of All Black David Havili, killed time and her nerves by doing the vacuuming, going to the supermarket and doing whatever she could to take her mind of her eldest son’s test debut for the All Blacks on Sunday morning.

The price of flights and the time to get to Argentina meant she couldn’t be there to watch the game in person. So she’s at home, in front of the television and surrounded by her sister, brotherin-law, nephew, family friends, David’s cat “Mischief ” and her youngest son Wily, himself a local rugby star with the Nelson Rugby Club.

On the walls of the lounge are photos of David and “William”. The boys as pre-schoolers, as young teenagers, and many more of them playing rugby.

On one wall hangs David’s jersey from when he made the New Zealand under-20 team, his Player of the Year trophy for this year’s champion Crusader team sits on a wall unit below it and there are photos of David’s first try as a Mako and another of his first try as a Crusader.

In the far corner of that same wall is a mural made up of photos from when David met the visiting All Blacks in 1999 as a 5 year old.

He’s there with Jonah Lomu, Pita Alatini, Tana Umaga and Jeff Wilson.

As the game kicks off, David finds his way to the sideline, from where he will later come on as a substitute. At his home in Motueka, the fo-

David Havili's mum Jenny Bisley in the lounge of her home in Motueka. Photo: Andrew Board.

By the middle of the second half Jenny’s Facebook page starts to light up. “I can’t wait for David to get on”, her friends comment. Neither can she.

Then, almost as an anticlimax, his substitution into the game ten minutes before full time is missed by the commentators and no one realizes he’s on the pitch until, suddenly, the ball is passed to… David!

“There he is!” yells his mum.

His aunt Maree lets out a whoop and everyone inches forward.

Commentator Tony Johnston notes that Havili is the 19th Nelson College old boy to play for the All Blacks. “And the first from Motueka High School,” points out Jenny. A few minutes later he makes a

bursting run up the middle of the ground before delivering a pin-point pass to a supporting player.

The play gets approval from the room. “What a run,” they say.

Then, as the game clock ticks over 80 minutes, the All Blacks pack one final scrum.

Commentator Justin Marshall thinks it could be set up

David Havili in action against the Pumas. cus of his family switches from trying to point out David to watching rugby and the All Blacks start well, in particular the man who is playing in David’s position, Damien McKenzie. “It’s the best I’ve ever seen him play,” points out David’s uncle Rick. “He’ll need a rest after all these runs,” he jokes.

well for a try to Havili, “if they can get it off the forwards”.

The scrum goes nowhere, then captain Kieran Read picks up the ball and passes it to half back TJ Perenara who then passes it to… DAVID HAVILI! The former Motueka United, Huia, Motueka High School, Nelson College, Nelson Rugby Club, Tasman Makos and Crusaders star scores a try in his first ever test match for the All Blacks. His family live every second with him.

“Look at his smile,” says his mum. “Oh my god,” says his aunt. “He’s making me cry.”

It is the perfect ending for boy who had his eyes on being an All Black from a young age. Jenny says it was obvious in primary school that he was

a very good player.

“People would say all the time ‘he’s going to be an All Black’. I remember his primary school teacher would say it all the time. He was always sporty and always very determined.”

Maree retold the story from a primary school friend who remembers David practicing his signature for when he made the team.

And when his mum framed his under-20 jersey for the wall he told her.

“That won’t be the only black jersey you’ll be framing.”

Jenny says she’s proud of her son.

“It’s hard to even realise he’s there. As a mother you watch a lot of games when they’re growing up and do a lot of washing. But you also see the down periods, when people told him that he wouldn’t get anywhere because of his size.”

After his dream debut, Jenny – herself a former rugby player with Huia – says his job now was to stay there.

“With Ben Smith and Israel Dagg still to come back it might be hard, but every time he’s given an opportunity he makes the most of it, so who knows. Either way, I’m very proud of him.”

After taking phone calls and replying to text messages of support, Jenny’s next task was to clear some room on that wall because David was right, there is another black jersey she’ll have to put up there.

Greenacres golf club’s popular twilight competition is starting again later this month and the club says it’s a perfect way for golfers of all ages and abilities to spend a few hours on Wednesday’s evenings during the summer.

Teams of four can enter the stableford competition which is played over nine holes every Wednesday from October 18 through to March 14, with a short break over Christmas.

Club professional Alistair Palmer says the competition has already attracted 13 entries but there is plenty of room for more teams.

“You don’t have to be a mem-

ber and you don’t even have to be a golfer – anyone can enter,” Alistair says. “The emphasis of this competition is having a fun night out and a social half hour or so afterwards.”

Alistair also says the twilight competition is great value for money with an entry fee of just $80 and $30 per team per night. He says that compares favourably with the casual nine-hole green fee of $25 per person.

Teams can enter the competition by downloading an entry form from the club’s website greenacresgolfclub.co.nz and emailing it to Alastair at golf shop@greenacresgolfclub. co.nz or by phoning Alistair on Greenacres Golf Club professional Alistair Palmer, left, and club manager Stuart Anderson are organising the club’s twilight competition starting later this month.
